@1xKONGx1 I love a good pole hump. lol. Did what I had to do, was in training for Cirque du Soleil's show, " Saltimbanco", that explains the outfit! :)
Being that I happen to be gay is of little consequence to the work I do on the trampoline. I took a lot of attitude from a lot of ignorant people while developing some of my stuff, and you know what? I'm doing pretty darn good for myself and my " Gay" moves. I happen to make a great living doing them so. Maybe think about where you are in life, and how you're all holding yourselves back because you're worried what people are going to think about you. -Adam.
@xHUGExxSACKx lol! We should start a fund!.... for only 10 cents a day, you can help these poor trampoline-less people... ( Sarah Mclachlan, of course, is playing in the background)
I have a definiton Question: Whats the name of the Trick at 0:53-0:55 ? This is a weird kind of flip, but anyway really cool. Tried it on my garden tramp feel really cool:P Anyways really cool video;)
@posterfreundin118 I trained in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Thank you very much, there are people who are MUCH better than me, but I do some unique skills. Please share my video with your friends :) And look at my other videos :)
I just want to say how stupid some of you posters come across as. If you're going to post negative BS, than I'll just delete your posts. So, don't waste your time if you have insecurity issues and need to bash someone who's trained 12 years of his life to learn his craft. If you think you're better, feel free to post your video response. If you have nothing to show for your big words, than you best be going elsewhere.
@ZachiD14 Hey there, I learned Double Tucks in a belt on the trampoline at the gym. I might suggest trying it off a 3M springboard at a pool if that's possible? At least the water landing is safer. Make sure you travel it out, you don't want to whack your head on the board.:) Good luck, be safe. -Adam
Nicely said, *Stands up an applaudes!*. You're so clever. :) Did you really think of that all by yourself? Well, sorry to ruin your quip, but no, I did not come out of the closet in THIS video. 13 years ago I came out, and boy is the sun shining bright!
Well, you know what people, get over it. It's my demo video. It's just supposed to show clips of my abilities. I don't give a flying fuck if you think it's "GAY". Why? BECAUSE I AM GAY. WHO CARES! For the rest of you that are above the age of 16 and have half a brain, thank you.
Also, I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I've posted many comments on other videos that I thought were great! I don't understand people's inherant need to try to bring others down. If your comment is useless, and you post it on THIS page, I will remove it. -A
@dancepassion4eva Thanks Dancepassion! If you like this and are a dancer, make sure to check out my Adam Menzies and Albena Aleksandrova Duo 2011 Video! You might enjoy that as well :) Please forward any of my videos onto facebook if you like them! :)
Many many many times! It's all about being able to tell yourself that maybe one way can't work, and trying to look at it from a different perspective. If you can do that and let the ego go, I truly feel that ANYTHING is possible! :)
Lol. The, " Worst " gay? Well then, that's a title i'll cherish. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY. YES. I AM GAY. I LIKE BOYS. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY....... Is it out of everyone's system yet?
lol, again, if you look over the comments... YES I AM GAY. Happily in a relationship, doing quite well, life is good. Thank you supporters, and to everyone else, well, maybe you should rethink you time spent here on RU-vid .
The fact of the matter is that I don't believe you can. Most of my tricks are unique to myself, mostly because of my flexability, But if you can prove me wrong, POST your video :) Would love to meet someone else out there who's bendy AND jumpy! :P
@Jello670 Pretty close, I did a mini version of the big pole slide I do in the video. Didn't keep it in the edit because it's not impressive :) What do you think about me doing a sequel to my " Trampoline Demo Video"?
@ellestreatt I started when I was 13. So, not too too young. Had a small trampoline in my backyard that I would teach myself tricks on, when it was getting too scary for my mom, they put me in trampoline classes :)
@ellestreatt I love twisting, just always had a knack for it. Lots of practice yes, but figuring out when I made a mistake, how to go about it a different way the next time. Made me a lot better :)
...Also, just a thought..... if you don't like what you see, stop visiting my videos. 15 years old..... You're gonna go from sno junkie to 711 checkout boy in just a couple years. Enjoy life while you can.
TO anyone who can " do better". Post your vids! It's not a compeition you dorks. As for making YOUR sport hella uncool? I was a World Champion and World Silver Medallist in " YOUR" sport. Shut your mouth. -A
Lovely. I don't really care if you don't like my " ballerina " style. That's fine, to each their own. I've seen Thomas's video, some fabulous work in there. I like the variety of my skills :)
Was scanning through youtube looking for some truly extreme trampoline stuff. I knew it had to exist. After filtering though a ton of true junk, I found it. Dude, you are awesome. Great video.
Haha MAGIC! Hey EVERYONE PASS ALONG MY DEMO! If you know people, even people who know people. Looking for work in Circus, Cruise Ships, Movies, Theatre. PASS IT ALONG! :) -Adam
DO what on flat ground ? I'm a trampolinist. Doing a triple twisting double on FLAT ground isn't exactly plausable. I do tumble on grass tho :) I'll film some sometime. -Adam
Hey Guys, just go through the comments section and look. One Man's Dream by Yanni is the second song. NO MORE SONG TITLE requests PLEEEASE!!! My inbox get's flooded contantly.
@mp582 Haha, thanks a lot, take a look at my other videos, they're called turn tables, I do it in a couple different positions, on my back and in a pike as well :)
@JorDo1024 Being ok with the pain is the secret. Gotta stretch till you wanna cry. Just keep bustin through. Where you Freestyle? Do you know Stonge or Speedy?
Woah wtf? I dont get it at all..well actually I kinda do. Do you mean you were gay and told every1 thirteen years ago? Not to be smart or insulting or sumthing like that
You're an idiot. If you would like to come see me perform live, I work at Pirates Dinner Adventure in Orlando Florida doing trampoline. Is ignorance bliss for you?
Haha. I mean, I'm a trampolinist! The balancing thing was just on there to show companies that YES I can stand on my hands. That's it. Not a handstand performer at all.
Thanks you guys again for checking out my Video. If you know anyone in the Entertainment industry or " stunt" world, please, forward my video to them :) -Adam
And while you're on it (though it has been asked a couple of times before): What's the name of the second song? Or where is it from? It's so beautiful! Thanks
Awesome. Very skilled, and as graceful as to some times almost seem a bit feminine. God I want a new trampoline ... does anyone know much about trampoline products? Where to get good quality and size for a bearable price etc? My old one didn't give me anywhere near the force required to support double flips (I'm a heavy mutha, made the net hit the ground quite often), so I want to be sure to get a better one this time^^ Needs to be able to support around 230-250 pounds, no smaller than 3.5 yards
1:46 That's like airbourne ballet... Wow... 4:37 Ok.. the body suit is a little weird-looking... .... Other than the body suit looking a little weird, this was amazing! I think I've seen stuff a bit like this before at the Paramount theater in Virginia, which is about the most expensive theatre you can go to and always hosts uber-awesome shows. They show nothing but the best after all. Wow.
I second that. like me and others who take trampoline, this is amazing, whether you take trampoline or not. I'm sorry for the people who get the wrong picture and think anytime a guy does gymnastics like this (basically circus stuff), they think it is homosexual. But if they didn't think so illogically, they would know EVERYTHING he does in this video IS VERY difficult. like not only the flips, but even the spinning in that pose at 1:12. This is the kind of person who should be looked up to.
Hey Adam, I have total respect for what you do, having just started doing gymnastics, shall we say as a mature student to learn how to do backflips and improve my aerial snowboard skills. It Must take a lifetime's committment to achieve that sort of standard. Did you start trampolining or gymnastics first and are you an international competitor??? Excuse my ignorance if you are some famous guy, who's represented his country etc.
Hello, You'r a very skilled trampolinist, and an Idol to many, i have a quick question how did you learn double backflips because i dont have any place close by with Foam pits and all my mate say i have the height and everything mainly the tuck... just going round once more :/ Just thought i'd ask you seem like a Genuine guy :)
@triffus yeah see i started at aged 12, and 14 now , iv got a similar story to you to :) i got my own trampoline in my garden, and i have taught myself to do a backflip just a simple flip - but i was quite scared to do so, but i am thinking of joining a club to be honest but thanks for telling me , :D
Wow Adam...that sequence from about 3:19-3:25 you're moving so fast it looks like the video has been sped up. That's just amazing. What an amazing talent you have! By the way, I've seen some of t he crappy people comments have made about you here, and I just want to say that you seem to handle yourself with a sense of dignity and pride. Much respect to you! :)
NOO! i thot i was soo COOL until now.... Are you part of cirque du sulei? pardon my spelling. Your a little creepy flexible tho i gotta say, i didn't get as much enjoyment out of the pole dancing as the beginning but its all good cus when i show my friends i'll only have to load the first half :] your awesome dude!
ultimate respect for the amount of work you must have put in to getting this good! the creativity you display is truly inspirational :D loved the handstand section of the trampolining, the double front whilst in wine glass hold, the back flicks on your knees on the powertrack :O...actually, i just loved it all!!
haha nice vid dude how long have u been trampolining for? at 00:17 a straight ballout!? and with next to no hight! im fooking amazed! have u ever got to a quad turntable before? do u compete in trampolining?ive only been bouncin a couple of years but i can name pretty much avery move u pulled off lol please message me bak just to chat
@triffus its just amazing! haha - i bet your really proud of yourself! :D mind if i ask, how long have you been doing this? - have you started off young? :) because atm , im doing a trampolening competition with other schools, but you know its just the basic shapes,drops and flips :) xx
@triffus yeah that was one of my favorite jumps in the whole video, and buddy you are awesome. How did you get to be so flexible, Im a freestyle skier and I really need to work on my flexibility. Im limited on certain grabs cause Im to stiff. Whats your secret ? Mad yoga ?
woollumn i think u cant.. and if you can.. make a video and put in on youtube.. this man is a genious.. freaking tricks on the trampoline which noboby normally do.. (ps: watch also my trampoline movie, not quite as good as thisone.. but plz watch (learned it all just by trying, no lessons))
adam menzies...canadian champion right? seen all yours vids n im a trampolinist myself...i hav 1 lame video on my profile but that was from a few years ago now, im now a regional champion and will be goin on to the great britain team supporin at 2012 olympics...i hope your there...nice work with this
LOL NICE I just learned to do a backfull in like February 2008. :) its hella fun but i never tried it on my trampoline since it sucks LOL. but i LOVE doing the corkscrew and double cat twists!! you should learn them :) Corkscrew is like a cradle but with an extra twist
I am so glad that you can take all this shit well, triffus... I've sat and read several of the posts and heard so much hatred and malicious comments. I am so upset with those people; not for the fact that they can't accept gay people, but because they use hate as a way of spreading fear and rage.
Theres, no words to discribe how talented you really are?! :D How long have you been doing this? Did it take VERY good pratice to do all the spins in the air *not the flips or drops obv ;) * because i loose balace even doing a front twist LMAO! :p
Hey that is so awesome man. I do gymnastics and I only just started and i can only do front flips and front flip quarter turns off the tramp. U are so awesome mate. Look at my video it is on the tramp as well but i am doing it off the trampoline. Awesome
you have to have a good trampoline but he is using a competition trampoline and it doesnt have to be AS good as that to be able to double back, you just need to control your bounce so that you can go higher and therefore double front and back
We have watched and enjoyed your video many times. My daughter does elite USTA Trampoline and really respects your work. She also is a gymnast and wants to know where did you get the music as she has a idea for floor music. Thanks!
unbelievable trampoline skill great athlete you are unreal skill wish i was like you a lot of people are nasty because they are all jealous in my opinion to be honest your just amazing on the trampoline and everything else you do on this video
dude nice trampoline skills i wud love to go on a trampoline like that it would be easy to do flips but im not gonna try wat ur doing lol its mad :S every trampoline ive bin on u dont get very hig but u do on tem nice video man :)
@arapp89 I think regular trampolines "for fun" are up to 4-5 meters in diameter. My friend has got about 4,5m for $500. From $500 are these rectangular or olympic trampolines like on the video. But it's only my opinion :)
dude that was fucking incredible!! sorry for the language but honestly i couldnt take ym eyes off of you, you are seriously talented, i was terrified you were gonna break you neck doing some of those trampoline stunts!
beautifully performed... done with the precision of a world champion but also the grace the most beautiful of swans... Its just brilliant to watch... 5* video.. Keep up the good work and please post more :)
i like trampolining as much as this guy but when he does all that ballet crap it makes me think of trampolining is kinda quire i think he iz f##kin ill beanige but with the ballet he puts trampolining in shame :(
My first time on what I like to call them the "Jumbo trampolines" I flew up pretty high and I went into a front flip to late and I landed flat on my head. They thought my neck snapped and I had to go to the hospital.
i gots a normal trampoline and all i can do is a front and backflip. contuniousy. is the trampoline he is using better? im confused. and how you do spins on normal trampoline plz reply and end my confusion =(
i live in Ontario, Canada. in a city called mississauga, we have one trampoline school here, there's also one in Toronto, and in some other cities. maybe if you go to google and search trampoline centre near -=your city here=-
dont listen to any of the rude an immature comments man. i take trampoline, and i know the difficulty in EVERY stunt you do. even the twisting in the wicked pose, or the flip with the kicks. keep working hard :)
SHIT UR GD!!!!! very unconventional, but its totally brilliant!!!!! i like the sorta of splitz-filp at about 2:39 and the very second fip (about 0:13) And seriously - wots the name of the first song?!?!?!?!?!?
geez, you're extremely good at trampoline!! it's awesome to see you fall as if headfirst from a great height, only to see you arch and fall on your back. i felt so scared each time you did sth like that! awesome!!!
is it all real.... i swear it is like... not possable.... ive been doing trampolining for 10 years and i dont have a fucking clue how to do any of that... well maybe some of it.... amazing vid. veryy well done :D:D
people are like wow how can he jump soo high lol, i think these trampolines are brill u dont hav to use much strength to go really high on these but u just hav to stay in control thats all lol
Wow! That was outstanding. Thank you for posting that. Inspiring. I really enjoyed how artistic and personalized your tumbling was. Such solid skills with amazing artistic flair. Beautiful! Do you teach?
